How do you enter cheats in Spyro: Reignited Trilogy? What cheat codes can you use in Spyro: Reignited Trilogy, and what do they do? The original PSone games, Spyro 1, 2, and 3, all had cheats back in the day, and they've made somewhat of a comeback for the PS4 remake. Most of the cheat codes are cosmetic, but there is one that will be especially useful for people new to Spyro. Let's go through them all in this guide.

Spyro: Reignited Trilogy - All Cheats, Their Effects, and How to Enter Them

Below, we'll go through each cheat code discovered in Spyro: Reignited Trilogy, telling you what each one does and how to use them. But first:

Do cheats disable trophies in Spyro: Reignited Trilogy?

Nope. You can use any of the below cheat codes without affecting trophies or save data. They won't disable trophies, so you can go nuts with these cheats and still work your way towards those three Platinums.

How to input cheats in Spyro: Reignited Trilogy

To use any cheat in Spyro: Reignited Trilogy, simply pause the game. In the pause menu, you'll be able to enter the cheat codes. They all work across Spyro 1, Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage! and Spyro 3: Year of the Dragon (unless otherwise specified), and they also carry over between the games. If you want to disable one of the cheats, simply use the code again and its effects will be removed.

If you're struggling with a tricky boss or a fiddly glide, use this cheat to instantly give Spyro 99 lives.

In Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage! you can toggle whether Spyro has Superflame breath or his regular fire attack. This cheat code only works for Spyro 2, and only works after you've collected all 10,000 gems and all 64 orbs.
